That's right. But they own a baseball team, and — surprise! — they're using the same business tactics. Squeeze every ounce of blood you can possibly squeeze. The best part: Their letter to the fans. It was as risible as it was nauseating. Do they really expect any intelligent person to believe...

Maybe the Pohlads will simply increase foreclosure rates for widows, orphans and veterans to pay off their "debt". I saw a podcast with Reusse. They were discussing ways the Pohlads might explore to pay off their "debt". Reusse: "How about this? Write a check! Done."

I hate it when I get letters from the Pohlad family. It's never good news.

“It was super close. It came down to the last day,” Perich said. “Ohio State is Ohio State. What I liked more about Minnesota was just ultimately their NFL safeties.” Wow. That's good to hear. The true blue-chip high school athletes will in fact strongly consider Minnesota as our program...

You gave him an "F" grade for the '22 draft. An "F" is pretty bad, right? I thought you might be ready to fire him.

Fire him? Or... not quite yet?

I stand corrected. "Fire this one, trade that one, cut the other one"... oh, AND cut payroll... are the obvious keys to success. I feel silly now.

New owners will almost certainly clean house. I would too, if I were buying the team. As you said, I'd put my own people in place. You would have to do so, really. But that doesn't change the fact that the Pohlads sealed the team's fate when they publicly and unequivocally waved their big white...

The team went south after the announcement following the '23 season that the Pohlads were going to cut payroll. Yes? Anything that happened on the field after that is the direct result of ownership making it crystal clear to their players and their fans that winning was not the priority for...

2023. The Twins win their division, make the playoffs, beat Toronto in the ALWCS, and lose to Houston in the ALDS. It was the team's first playoff series win in 20+ years. The Pohlads responded by announcing that they were going to cut payroll. So... Fire this one, trade that one, cut the...

Yes. "Fire this one, trade that one, cut the other one" can never be fully satisfied, because the replacement hires will also require firing, trading and cutting — and sooner rather than later. "Fire this one, trade that one, cut the other one" is perpetual.

The Twins have turned over, what... 40% of the roster? The "fire this one, cut that one, trade the other one" folks want to see even more heads rolling in the street.

If the Twins lose to the Yankees, will you see it as "peeing down their leg"? I would see it as the Yankees having a superior roster.

Gopher fans who are optimistic and enthusiastic about Brosmer's performance aren't going to cause any distress, pain or hardship. I really don't see a need to attempt to tamp down the good vibes. Brosmer just might surprise us. People seem to enjoy rooting for an underdog like Max. Well... to...

A question for you (and your wise man): As daily sustenance, would you rather attempt to survive on salt... or solid food? The reason I ask is this: we have people here on Gopher Hole who are all salt and no sustenance.
